I spoke with BMW NA and they also said the MY 2014 production will start at the beginning of March and that the 'Ordering packets' wiill be sent to dealers in mid January which will also be when orders can be placed.

They also said that the 2014 X1 is showing it will be available for ED and it currently appears to still come out of dealer allocation slots.

Lets hope someone can get us information about the options for the MY 2014 X1 before January in case BMW NA changes anything up enough that some of us might want to get a deal on the 2013 before the current promotion ends Jan 2nd. I'd rather not find out mid Jan that options I want are changing or prices are going up enough that I'd be trying book an ED in less than 45 days.

I received an email from BMW ED with similar information. I am looking at a mid may ED and was told that a delivery date request could be made in January, so I assume that means option, package and color information will be available in January.
